]]>I’ve just had it confirmed to me that House of Cards won’t be available on the New Zealand service when Netflix when launches here on the 24th of March. Despite the hit series leaving Foxtel for the Australian service, the same hasn’t happened in New Zealand.

It is believed that Lightbox has the series, which released internationally last Friday. We weren’t able to get comment from Lightbox at the time of publishing.

]]>After a much better week for TV One’s home renovation show, Our First Home took another hit last night and dropped to an average audience of 274,750 from the previous night which was the second lowest rating episode the series has had, only marginally higher then the previous Tuesday.

At 26%, the fall was almost as bad as what the X Factor experienced on Sunday which lead to the frontpage headlines and poor reporting by the Herald and Fairfax. I doubt we’ll see the same level of coverage from them today, however, as it doesn’t suit their MO.
Meanwhile, TV3’s X Factor NZ dipped slightly on Monday’s episode to an average audience of 306,180 viewers but was still well up on Sunday’s series low.

Last night’s final episode of Bootcamp was the third lowest for the season behind Sunday’s first night of the six chair challenge and the season premiere on February 15th.

As it turns out though, it was a publicity stunt for a new TV show. E!’s The Royals is definitely ramping things up with their promotional campaign:

A virtual chocolate fish to anyone who can spot what it is.
